Thanks Dick and John. Pretty much what I thought, and have explained to her. She is pretty understanding that there were a number of arms in the collection for which the purchase price was too high, considerably so in some cases. Fortunately, he did OK on the Trapdoors, so she'll make out OK on them. This thing would be a fun shooter, but value is extremely limited, especially since the values for most any Trapdoor doesn't seem to be much over $1500.
